proposal


My performance consisted of writing down an emotion and sharing it with your partner by performing your partners emotion. It took place outside where the performers stepped 15 feet back and express their partners written emotion. I feel that this performance was successful and I liked the outcome I received from the Victor and Vicki. It allowed them to express what there partner was feeling or thinking 1 min prior to swapping the sheets of emotions. They seemed have fun and performed it as I expected.

Directions
1. Write an emotion on piece of paper
2. Fold up the sheet of paper
3. Go outside
4. Give your paper to your partner
5. Both you and your partner step back 15 steps
6. Open up the note and make that emotion
7. Performance is over when you both can see each other emotions

In response to Vicks performance I was not really clear on the concept of the performance. After the third time he explained the directions I realized that the simplicity of is was made it hard to comprehend. I had fun with ducking and clapping while not touching the wall. The idea did seem to be more creative then the actual performance.

The performance I performed from Vickies proposal had a much different concept than Vicks. The partners interacted with each other more creating a more emotional and authentic performance rather than just taking directions. I had to create a rhythm while doing crunches with my partner. It was fun new and a i had fun with exploring a different way to create a rhythm.
